Why Hiring a Real Estate Professional Works in Your Favor

Whether you're buying, or selling real estate, it is beneficial on a personal level and in a financial capacity that you consider hiring a realtor.

Hiring a real estate professional when buying or selling a home, especially in an uncertain economic climate, means that you can take advantage of their market knowledge, researching skills, and their comparative pricing analytics, as well as their negotiating skills, so that you get the best possible deal.


In today's world of realty where real estate transactions are becoming more complex and negotiations are becoming more aggressive, it is vital for home buyers and sellers have professional representation, otherwise they risk the ability to secure future investment opportunities.

When you search for a realtor consider these aspects:

1) Local Knowledge - look for a realtor that is familiar with your neighborhood, as they will have valuable insight into the region, possible opportunities for growth and what suburbs represent the best value in terms of investment appreciation.

2) Experience - the more experience your realtor has, the better, because they will be experts at negotiation, and be able to offer you sound advice.

3) Communication - a realtor with little or no communication skills is not a good choice. Find a realtor who you can talk to, and one that you actually enjoy being around, because you will spend a fair bit of time with them discussing your wants and needs.

1st time Home Buyers- Time to BUY!!!

Get Moving!! With interest reates down to the lowest rates in yrs and home prices down. Then you throw an $8,000 tax credit. What are you waiting for.

Home purchase must close by December 1 - NOT December 31!
It’s not too soon to start moving on this! Your home needs to be under contact by October at the latest.
You should start shopping NOW ! September at the very latest but. By September the available inventory of homes for sale will be picked over - the best homes will be long gone.

The law defines “first-time home buyer” as a buyer who has not owned a principal residence during the three-year period prior to the purchase.\
